This place was a fantastic end stop along the Ring Road of Iceland on or way to Reykjavik. It is spotlessly clean, well appointed for friends traveling together or families and very quiet. The people are very nice and we would definitely come back.

The property is located about 12km from Route 1 and quite a scenic drive. We booked two cabins (two couples) and both were in great condition. The beds were comfortable and the water pressure of the shower was good. It was also one of the few places during our Iceland ring road tour that provided shampoo/bodywash which was nice.

Cabins were nice and clean. The area is off of the ring road so it is a little secluded which we thought was perfect. Only issue was we stayed in mid September and the restaurant was closed and the other restaurant in town was also closed. The convenience store did have hot food which worked out fine.

I had a pleasant stay here! The shared showers were a bit of a culture shock as a young woman from the US but the facilities provided were great. So be advised to shower with others. The toilet rooms were clean and located in the center of the haul allowing easy access. Bed was very comfortable! Plenty of outlets and a sink with a cup in room was lovely. I appreciate the hospitality!

Getting to the guesthouse was a bumpy ride, be careful midway as there is a big difference in elevation, our suv most definitely hit the ground pretty hard. Other than this instance, the host was sweet and greeted me and gave me a tour for the guesthouse. The room was quaint and the facilities were clean. There is a hot tub in the back but i wasn’t able to check it out, though it wouldve been nice if I wasnt so tired. Would recommend! :)
